Luka 12
1 Akatungu ako, ebhiumbi bhya abhanu nibhekofyanya amwi, okukingila nibhamba ukutajana, namba okwaika na abheigisibhwa bhaye okwamba, “Mwikenge ne echifwimbya cha Abhafarisayo echo ni bhunafiki”
In the meantime, myriads of the multitude having gathered together, So that they trode on one another, He began to speak to His disciples first; Take heed unto yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Italibhao mbisike iselekele inu italisululwa, nolwo egambo liselekelwe linu litalimenyekana.
But there is nothing hidden, which shall not be revealed: and concealed, that shall not be made known.
3 Na lyona lyona linu mwaikile muli muchisute, lilyungwibhwa mubhwelu. Na gonagona ganu mwaikile mukutwi muli munsika jemwe eja munda bhigae galyaikwa ingulu yoruswi lwa inyumba.
Therefore so many things as you spoke in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and whatsoever you spoke in the ear in the secret chambers shall be proclaimed upon the houses.
4 Bhasani bhani enibhabhwila, mwasiga okubhaya bhanu abheta omubhili na nibhamala bhatali na chinu chindi echokukola,
And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things, having nothing more to do.
5 Nawe enibhaonya mumenye owokubhaya. Mubhaye unu kamala okwita na ali no obhutulo obhwokulasa mwitanga lyomulilo. Yee, enibhabhwila mubhaye oyo. (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you whom you must fear: Fear him, who after he kills has power to cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Mbe enibhusha, ebhitamba bhitanu bhatabhigusha senti ebhili? nawe ona kataliwo nakamwi kanu Nyamuanga alikalabhilwa imbele yaye.
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
7 Nawe mumenye ati, jimfwili je emitwe jemwe jibhalilwe. Msige kubhaya. Emwe muli ne echibhalo chinene okukila ebhitamba bhyafu.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are more important than many sparrows.
8 Enibhabhwila, wonawona unu alinyikilisha imbele ya abhanu, Omwana wa Adamu ona alimwikilisha imbele ya bhamalaika bha Nyamuanga.
But I say unto you, that every one who may confess me before the people, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God.
9 Nawe wonawona unu alinyigana imbele ya abhanu omwene ona nilimwigana imbele ya bhamalaika bha Nyamuanga.
But the one denying me before the people will be denied before the angels of God.
10 Wonawona unu alyaikako Omwana wa Adamu kubhibhi, alisasilwa, nawe wonawona unu alijimya Mwoyo Mweru, atalisasilwa.
And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him having blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
11 “Bhalibha bhabhasila imbele ya abhakulu bha amasinagogi, abhatwale, na abhobhuinga, mwasiga kubhaya ingulu ya kutyo mulaika okwibhambalila amo ati echija okwaika chinuki,
But when they may carry you into the synagogues, and tribunals, and authorities; do not be solicitous as to what you may apologize, or what you may say:
12 kulwokubha Mwoyo Mweru kaja okubheigisha injila yo okwaika mukatungu ako.”
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour the things which it behooveth you to speak.
13 Omunu umwi mwiijo namubhwila ati, “Mwiigisha, nubhwile omumula wasu anane libhala lyo omwandu gwani.”
And a certain one from the multitude said to Him, Teacher, speak to my brother, to divide the inheritance with me.
14 Yesu nasubhya ati, “Niga unu anteyewo okubha mulamusi na mugwatanyisha wemwe?
And He said to him; Man, who established me judge or a divider over you?
15 Nio nabhabhwila ati, “Mwikenge na bhuli mbaga yo omululu, kulwokubha obhuanga bhwo omunu bhutali mubhwafu bhe ebhinu bhini alinabhyo.”
And He said to them, See, and beware of all covetousness: because his life is not in that which aboundeth to any one, from those things belonging to him.
16 Yesu nabhabhwila echijejekanyo, naika ati, “Lisambu lya omunu umwi owalibhona lyaisishe ebhilyo bhyafu,
He spake a parable to them, saying, The farm of a certain rich man was very productive:
17 nebhusha mumwoyo gwaye naika ati, 'nikole kutiki kulwokubha nitali nawakutula ebhilyo bhyani?
and he was reasoning in himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no place where I shall store my fruits?
18 Naika ati, enija okukola kutya. Enifumya ebhitala bhyani ebhitoto nindanda ebhinene, omwo nimwo nimbika ebhilyo bhani ne ebhinu bhindi.
And he said, I will do this: I will take down my barns, and build greater, and there I will gather all my fruits and my goods.
19 Nimbilwa omwoyo gwani, “Webhikiye ebhinu bhyafu kwe myaka myafu. Fung'ama, ulye, unywe no kuchecheka.”'
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
20 “Nawe Nyamuanga namubhwila ati, 'Awe omunu omumumu, mungeta ya lelo abhenda obhulame okusoka kwao, mbe ebhinu bhinu wilabhile ebhibha bhyaga?'
But God said to him, Thou fool, this night they are demanding thy soul from thee; and to whom shall those things which thou hast prepared, belong?
21 Mbe nikwokutyo jili ku bhuli munu unu ebhikiye imali nasiga okwilabha (okwilosha) kumisango jo Omukama.”
So is every one laying up treasure for himself, and not rich toward God.
22 Yesu nabhabhwila abheigisibhwa bhaye ati, “Kulwejo enibhabhwila kutya, mwasiga okuyaya ingulu ya obhulame bhweme ati omulya chinuki amo ingulu ye emibhili jemwe ati omufwala chinuki.
And He spoke to His disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not solicitous for your soul, what you may eat; nor for your body, what you may put on.
23 Kulwokubha obhulame obhukila ebhilyo, no omubhili ogukila ebhifwalo.
The soul is more than food, and the body more than raiment.
24 Mulole jinyonyi ja mulutumba, jitakulima nolwo jitakugesa. Jitali nanlusika nolwo echitala echo okubhikamo bhinu, nawe Esomwana kajilisha ebhilyo. Emwe mukondele okukili jinyonyi!
Observe the ravens, because they neither sow nor reap; to which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them; are you not much better than the fowls?
25 Niga unu mwimwe unu katula okwongesha chita chimwi ku bhulame bhwaye?
And which one of you being solicitous is able to add one moment to his existence?
26 Mbe kalabha mutakutula okukola echinu chitoto changuile, mbe kubhaki okunyakilila agandi ago?
If then you are powerless in the smallest matter, why are you solicitous about other things?
27 Mulole kutyo amatwasho agamela. Gatakukola milimu nolwo okusuka. Nawe enibhabhwila kutya, nolwo Selemani mwikusho lyaye lyona atafafwibhwe lwa limwi lya amatwasho ganu,
Observe the lilies, how they toil not, neither do they spin: and I say unto you, That Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these.
28 ka labha Nyamuanga kafwafya kisi amatwasho ge emwila, ganu lelo galio, ka mutondo nigalaswa mumulilo. Atabhafwafya emwe kukila ago? Emwe abhalikilisha litoto!
And if God so clothes the verdure flourishing in the fields to-day, and to-morrow cast into the oven; how much more are you, O ye of little faith?
29 Musige okunyaka ati omulya chinuki amo ati omunywa chinuki, nolwo mwasiga okubha nolwo okuliyaya.
And do not seek what you may eat, and what you may drink, and with what you are clothed;
30 Kulwokubha amayanga gonna aga muchalo aganyakilila amagambo ago. Esomwana wemwe kamenya nkanikwo omugenda ago.
for the heathens of the world are seeking after all these things: but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 Nawe mulonde okwamba obhukama bhwaye, agandi ago omuja okwongesibhwa,
Moreover seek His kingdom and these things shall be added unto you.
32 Mwasiga kubhaya emwe liijo litoto, kulwokubha Esomwana akondelewe okubhayana emwe obhukama obhwo.
Fear not, little flock; because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 Mugushe jimali jemwe muyane abhataka, mwikolele emifuko jinu jitakuwelwa- ebhinu bhya mulwire bhinyantawa, eyo abhefi bhatakulebhelela nolwo amayenje gatakunyamula.
Sell your possessions and give alms; make for yourselves purses that will not get old, and treasure in the heavens which can not be stolen, where the thief does not draw nigh, nor the moth corrupt.
34 Kulwokubha ao ili imali yao niwo no omwoyo gwao ghulibha.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be.
35 Emyendya jemwe jindela mujibhoye no omushipi, na jitala jemwe jimalilile jibhega nijigendelela okwaka,
Let your loins be girted, and your lamps burning;
36 na mubhe lwa bhanu bhatengejee Omukama webhwe okusoka mubhulegesi, koleleki akakinga no okukonona, bhatule kwo obhwangu okumwigulila omulyango.
and be you like unto men waiting for their lord, when he may rise up from the marriage feast; in order that, coming and knocking, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Bhana libhando abhakosi bhemilimu, bhanu Lata Bhugenyi alisanga bhatengejee. Ni chimali alibhoya omwenda gwaye omulela kwo omusipi, neya nabheyanja ansi bhalye ebhilyo, namala nabhafulubhendela.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord having come will find watching: truly I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and have them sit down, and having come will serve them.
38 Labha Lata Bhugenyi akakinga abhanu bhewetuyemo kabhili, nabhasanga bhamaliliye, mbe abhakosi abho abhabhona libhando.
If at the second, and third, watch he may come, happy are ye.
39 Ingulu yago, mumenye na linu, chisanga kanya nyumba amenyele isaa eyo omwifi kejilamo, atakekilisishe inyumba yaye ingililwe.
Know this, that if the landlord knew at what hour the thief cometh, he would not have permitted his house to be broken into.
40 Mbe mubhega mumaliliye kulwokubha ona mutakumenya nikatunguki ako Omwana wa Adamu alisubha.
Be ye also ready: because at an hour you do not think the Son of man cometh.
41 Petro naika ati, “Lata Bhugenyi, oubhwia eswe bhenyele echijejekanyo bhinu, angu oubhwila bhuli munu?”
And Peter said to Him, Lord, do you speak this parable to us, or to all?
42 Omukama nabhabhwila ati, “Ni mugayaki unu amasishe amo owobhwengeso unu lata bhugenyi waye kamutula ingulu ya abhagaya abhandi, koleleki abhagabhile ebhilyo akatungu ko obhwana?
The Lord said, Who then is the faithful, wise steward, whom the lord will establish over his house-hold, to give them their food in season?
43 Ana libhando omugaya unu alisangwa nakola kutyo alagiliwe.
Happy is that servant, whom his lord having come shall thus find watching.
44 Nichimali enibhabhwila kutya alimutula ingulu ya jimali jaye jona.
Truly I say unto you, that he will establish him over all his possessions.
45 Nawe omugaya oyo akaika mumwoyo gwaye ati, omukulu wani akola okusubha; kulwejo namba okubhuma abhagaya bhechilume na abhechigasi, nio namba okulya, okunywa no okutamila,
But if that servant may say in his heart, my lord delayeth his coming, and may begin to smite the servants and handmaidens, and to eat and drink, and be drunken;
46 mbe lata Bhugenyi wo omugaya oyo alija olusiku na akatungu kanu atakumenya, kamutema bhibhala bhibhala namutula amwi na bhanu bhatali no obhwitonde bhwo okwikilishanya.”
the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not expect, and in an hour in which he does not know, and will cut him off, and will appoint his part with the unbelievers.
47 Omugaya unu kamenya akakoleye ka lata bugenyi waye, ka nasiga okwilosha nolwo okukola lwakutyo omukulu waye kenda, alibhumwa nsimbo nyafu.
But that servant knowing the will of his lord, and not preparing or doing according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 Nawe omugaya unu atakumenya akakoleye ko omukulu waye, nawe nakola kutyo ejendibhwa, alibhumwa nsimbo ntoto. Kulwokubha unu ayabhilwe bhyafu, alitongwa bhyafu okusoka kwaye, naunu asigiwe bhyafu kwo kwikilishanya, bhilitongwa bhafu okusoka kwaye.
But the one not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. But to every one to whom much is given, much will be required of him: and to whom they commit much, of him they will ask the more.
49 Mbe nijile okwakya omulilo muchalo, na enenda muno gubhe gwamalile okwaka!
I have come to send fire on the earth; and what do I will, if it is already kindled?
50 Nawe nili nobhubhatijo obhwo kubhatijibhwa, na nisurumbaye okukingila ao bhwakakumile!
And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it may be perfected!
51 Enibhusha, umwiganilisha ati nijile okuleta omulembe muchalo? Pai, Enibhwabhila ati niletele obhutagani.
Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I say unto you, Nay, but division.
52 Kwambila olyanu nokugendelela bhanu bhatanu munyumba imwi ousanga bhatasikene, ahasatu bhali lwebhwe na abhabhili bhali lwebhwe, abhabhili bhatasikene na abhasatu.
For from now, there shall be five in one house divided, three shall be divided against two, and two against three:
53 Bhalitagana, lata alitasikana no Omwana waye, no omwana alitasikana nesemwene, nyilamwene alitasikana no omuasha, na omuasha alibhayata atasikene na nyilamwene, Maibhuko alitasikana no omukamwana no omukamwana alitasikana na nyabhuko waye.
the father against the son, and the son against the father; and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
54 Yesu nabhwila na liijo ati, “Mukalola amele nigesunga ebhugwa, nimwaika ati 'akatungu kaing'ubha kakinga,' ka nikwo kutyo ejibha.
And he also spoke to the multitudes, When you may see a cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, that the rain cometh; and it is so:
55 Komuyaga gwa amalimbe gukayemba, nimwaika ati, 'Eija okubhayo imbita nyafu,' ka nikwo kutyo ejibha.
and when the south wind is blowing, you say, that it will be hot; and it is so.
56 Emwe abhanafiki, omutula okugajula kutyo echalo no olutumba ebhibhonekana mumeso, nawe ejibha kutiki mutakumenya okugajula akatungu kaoli anu?
You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the earth and the firmament; and how do you not discern this time?
57 Kubhaki bhuli munu abhule okusombola linu lilikisi kumwene na akalikola akatungu kanu ali nomwanya gwo kukola kutyo?
Why do you not judge righteous judgment, even with reference to yourselves?
58 Kulwa insonga mukagenda naunu omusitakana imbele yo omulamusi, ikomesha mungwane naunu omusitakana nage muchali munjila ataja okusila kumulamusi, no omulamusi akakusila kumukulu we emilimu, no omukulu we emilimu akakulasa mulunyolo.
For as you go with your adversary to the ruler, give attention on the way that you be reconciled with him; lest he may deliver you to the judge, and the judge shall turn you over to the officer, and the officer will cast you into prison.
59 Enaika ati, utakusokamo omwo okukingila uliye isenti yokumalisha.
I say unto you, You can by no means come out thence, till you have even paid the last mite.
